MS and red-facedness poll

In a recent post, I suggested that people take a poll at an MS blog to increase the range of data about a possible connection between problematic brain veins and MS. However, you need to register to reply there, and this is probably more trouble than it's worth to answer a single question, so I've replicated their poll here.

[Poll #1489798]

Thanks from JSTCD

Thanks very much for posting this poll.

Everyone's head will get a little redder, especially the cheeks, when they exercise, but so too will their body. this doesn't count. By red head, what the poll is looking for is the whole head, and enough that it's obvious or even embarrassing.

Admittedly I am fair skinned, so I appologize if the wording didn't take skin color into consideration as well as it should have.

So far combined total for all sites with this survey:
MS - Yes: 34
MS- No: 9
NotMS yes: 6
NotMS No: 26

Of people with MS 79% get a very red head
Of people wihtout, 77% do not

So far pretty good results confirming Dr Zamboni's thesis!!
